Assault shaft - Can anyone fill and redrill roll pin hole?
Soo... I attempted to have some Assault shafts made, and due to doing a small # of them and the shop saying they'd be hand made instead of CNC, the quote was very high.. I won't be able to get any made :-(
If there's enough interest, perhaps we can persuade one of the repro heros to help us get it done. If not, I need a solution.
The thing with my Assault shafts, and I'd assume most, is that the pivot ball is secured by a roll pin in the shaft. It's supposed to pivot on the Y-axis, but got force along the X-axis, which wore the roll pin hole larger. My sticks had nails installed at some point to secure the pivot balls. I got new/NOS of just about everything stick related except the shafts themselves.
Is there a way to reliably fill the hole with a weld, then precisely redrill so that the new roll pins fits tightly as it should? If a reputable KLOV'r can do this for me, I'd be willing to ship them and pay for the service. Pic of the issue below:
